Moving electrons around loops with light: A quantum device based on geometry

Friday, February 19, 2016 - 16:30 in Physics & Chemistry

While a classical bit found in conventional electronics exists only in binary 1 or 0 states, the more resourceful quantum bit, or ‘qubit’ is represented by a vector, pointing to a simultaneous combination of the 1 and 0 states. To fully implement a qubit, it is necessary to control the direction of this qubit’s vector, […]
